Question about Comerica Park.

I am from right near Toronto and I would for sure drive to Comerica to watch the Jays and the Tigers. Would any of you guys come to Toronto to watch a game? I know for me being a 24 year old it is just a blast to go to the states to watch a game. Is that the same for you guys? Is it fun to come to Canada to watch a game?

Seems like a strange question, but there isn't much going on in the world of sports after this week, so why not lol.

The SkyDome was cool when it was one of the first parks with a retractable roof...since then a lot of other parks have been built and are much nicer. Miller Park, Minute Maid Park, AT&T Park (my favorite), PNC,

Not to mention Wrigley Field is the same distance for me (2hrs) as is Comerica Park. The Rogers Centre is 6.5 hours drive for me...even with the newly constructed Blue Jays team I am more likely to go to Chicago to see the Cubs than go to Toronto to see the Jays. If it is any consolation, I would rather drive 6.5hrs to see the Jays than go to that shitbox US Cellular Field to see the White Sux.

Camden is still on my list to see. My dad and I have been to 14, I think...my favorite by far is AT&T Park in San Francisco. Gorgeous!

I toured AT&T Park (Giants were in Colorado when I was visiting SF). It is a beautiful park. They did a fantastic job with that one.

PNC in Pittsburgh is awesome too. The inside of the park doesn't quite match AT&T or Comerica, IMO. But, the all-around experience with PNC makes it great. Walking across the Clemente bridge to go to the game, having bars in the stadium that open to the outside perimeter of the park, the river and river walk right below the stadium (with a canoe livery right there) ... it's a great experience.

Jacobs Field is pretty good but Camden is by far the best. Love the food and Inner Harbor is so beautiful.

Wrigley is a f-ing dump. Nationals new park sucks. I was very disappointed in it.

Man I Love Wrigley Field! Harry Cary's bar before the game, outfield bleachers above the Ivy! How can anyone call that a dump! The last time I was there Maddox was pitching, and it was magical. I swear the ball disappeared and ended up in a different location then it looked, Andrew Jones collided in CF! You may not like the Cubs, but calling Wrigley a F-ing dump is as Charles Barkley would say uncivilized. To answer the tread's question, I've never been to Toronto, but I'd love to. I bet they have good fans! On a side note, I lost some respect for Toronto when they lost some good players in the last couple of years, but your new roster will be pretty good!

Nope, just a 4-time DC tourist in the past 10 years.
I was on the same Redline that crashed in June 2009. We ran on the same track 24 hours earlier.

I do not miss RFK Stadium. Besides being a dump, the place was a hot oven in the summer.

What I enjoyed most from both parks were the Presidents race during games. Poor Teddy!

I had season tickets for the first 2 years at RFK and that place did blow. Great seats behind home plate right underneath the underhand though so at least I was in the shade. I was close to the field and Roy Oswalt had the best curve I've ever seen live. The break on that pitch was just amazing.

I've never been to the Left Coast. I really want to check out a game there. Their fans are very knowledgeable and friendly so that would definitely add to the game day experience. I'd love to check out Petco too.

I sat approximately where Gibby's HR off of the Eck in RF bleachers at Chavez Ravine a few years back. I don't like the Dodgers at all...my equivalent in the NL to the Chicago White Sux in the AL. I don't need to go back there. I am glad that I went once, but once is enough.
